Typing Helps a Boy with Autism Communicate

Jamie Ponsoby, now 13, was diagnosed with autism at 2 and a half. His speech gradually disappeared and he had difficulty with sign language. His mom read about a person who found it easier to communicate by typing rather than talking and decided to teach Jamie to type. Now being able to communicate, Jamie has proven to his family that he is aware, has a sense of humor, above-average emotional skills, and has a gift for poetry.
